A process for the separation and recovery of arsenic and iron from a biological leach liquor containing both

This invention relates to a method for separating and recovering arsenic and iron from arsenic- and iron-containing bioleaches. The specific steps are as follows: An adsorbent is added to the arsenic- and iron-containing bioleach, mixed thoroughly, and reacted. After adsorption is complete, the solid and liquid phases are separated to obtain an arsenic-iron solution free of bacterial residues. A reducing agent is added to the obtained arsenic-iron solution. After detection, all arsenic and iron are converted to trivalent and divalent valences, respectively, and the reaction is complete, yielding a solution containing low-valent arsenic and low-valent iron. An extractant is added to the reduced arsenic-iron solution to obtain an arsenic-containing organic phase and an iron-containing raffinate. The iron-containing raffinate is returned to the bioleaching process, and the organic phase is back-extracted to obtain an arsenic-containing back-extract. The back-extracted organic phase is reused to extract arsenic. Sodium hydroxide is added to the arsenic-containing back-extract, mixed thoroughly, and then benzyl chloride is added. After stirring and reacting, the mixture is allowed to stand for layering and the acidity is adjusted for crystallization. The crystals are washed and dried to obtain benzylarsine product.
